" I was running this with the CARY/AES SET amps and this preamp really brings out the intricate details of the music like very few preamps can.It has a lot of tubes but not all are used for all functions..This is rebuilt and as you can see it has a nice potted choke and it uses the Baxandall tone controls. If anyone has one of these,I urge you to rebuild it because this unit is a babe. I want to thank Stace,AKA geezerrocket for turning me on to this gem.

No worries Mike. You are always quick to help all of us ham fisted solder slingers. |
